Chapter 81 (2/2)

Huuuu~

When the portal was activated, the giant army of 100 thousand espers entered, following the order of the score ranking of the previous pressure exam. Han was coincidently in the middle, but the ones at the very front are those espers that were ranked low. After all, in the extremely dangerous extinction domain, putting the weakest at the front was meant for them to be used as sacrifices.

But at this moment, everyone has all been dazzled by the bright future portrayed by Doyle, no one could stop them, and they were all fighting to get in first. No one realized that in the past exploration events, the survival rate was never higher than 50%. In other words, out of the 100 thousand participants, at least 50 thousand will die inside the extinction domain.

Han followed the crowd and entered the portal. The technology used to construct the portal was kind of like the transition engine, and it was also setting up a channel between the two points. It was just that this portal, called a star gate, was fixed in position.

The circular center of the star gate was the intermediate point between time and space, like a water curtain, people won’t feel anything crossing, but the scene in front of them will suddenly change.

Han found himself by the side of a deep cave going down, a few meters in front under his foot was a bottomless pit, and above sat four giant sculptures.

The sculptures were over ten thousand meters high, depicting the image of four soldiers. They all inserted the sharp sword in their hand into the cave. With cold eyes, one of them were occupying the north, south, east, and west corners. All the soldiers coming in made the scene reminiscent of ants at the food of four gods, being tightly stared down by them.

What surprised Han more was, the method to entering the relic is was actually jumping straight into the abyss!

He just saw those overly excited young espers shouting loudly, then suddenly jumped into the bottomless abyss, soon disappearing into the darkness.

What should come will eventually come, and now that he was already here, why the hell was he still hesitating?

Han gritted his teeth, went back a few steps, then suddenly exerted force through his legs and started sprinting.

Rushed into the air, Han quickly grabbed something back from his backpack and held it in his hand.

Pop~

At the same time, he also opened the automatic drug kit that was tied to his left arm.

……

One hundred thousand young fighters have all entered the star gate, and all 12 representatives were preparing to leave. Each of them had a laptop with them. A number and a map full of red dots on the screen showed the number of survivors in the A-19.

In extinction domains, communication signals were blocked, and the only useable signal was a life signal, which collected the life ripples of soldiers to predict how many soldiers were still alive.

On the screen, the red dots were rapidly decreasing, each red bot represented the life of an esper. Maybe they were killed by dark beasts, maybe they were murdered by other contestants, or unfortunately stepped on a trap in the relic and died. Other than the witnesses at the scene, no one could possible know.

“Isn’t this speed a bit too quick! The A-19 was just activated for a minute, and we already lost 1000 soldiers?!” Prime Minister Owen from the Griffith Federal shouted in a hoarse voice.

Not just him, everyone had noticed that the death of soldiers in this event far exceeded the past exploration events. About 20 thousand espers jumped down the cave, and of those people, 1300 instantly died from something.

“It just passed 3000! Shit! Something’s not right! We must stop those soldiers that got into the star gate but haven’t jumped into the extinction domain yet. There seems to be a mutation inside the domain!”

“Stop those who haven’t entered? Then what happened to the people that already entered? Leave them to die?!”

“We can first investigate the situation to see what’s wrong first, then let the remaining group enter. The situation right now is very abnormal; the fatality rate is exponentially higher than the rate in the past!”

“Stop arguing! Just when you guys were talking, we have already lost 5000 soldiers!”

“That can’t be right! 3 minutes, 5000 people?! Don’t they know that when they just entered the relic, they need to team up and kill enemies instead of starting to kill each other?!”

No one answered, the entire scene was silent.

How did those participants not know that when they just enter the relic, they will encounter the attack of a wave of dark beasts? Based on past experiences, the stronger the dark beasts, the deeper they will hide in the relic, and those that were guarding at the entrance could rarely post a big threat to the huge number of human soldiers entering together.

But this time was apparently different from the past. In just 3 minutes, 5 thousand soldiers were killed, and this extraordinary rate could only mean one thing: a huge problem appeared inside the extinction domain!

But what could be the problem?

“Everyone went in, and 10 thousand people were already killed…” The Prime Minister Pastore of the Gainlead Republic swallowed a deep breath and said with a pale face, “It has only been 5 minutes, and the death rate is already at 10%, I’m afraid that this year’s Milky Way Meet will be an unprecedented catastrophe…”
